Liverpool v Borussia Dortmund - UEFA Europa League Quarter Final: Second Leg
Liverpool made another dramatic comeback against Borussia Dortmund

Despite failing to win a trophy until that point in time, Jurgen Klopp was already involved in a huge Anfield moment to cherish in his first season as Liverpool manager. The Reds faced Klopp's previous team, Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League quarterfinals.

The teams drew the first leg in Germany 1-1 and Dortmund started strongly at Anfield. Their quick start was rewarded as Thomas Tuchel's side put Liverpool to the sword. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored in the opening 10 minutes, meaning Liverpool needed to score three goals without reply to progress.

Divock Origi scored early in the second-half to get things rolling for the Reds. However, it was short-lived as Marco Reus scored what looked like the killer goal on the hour mark. However, Liverpool, who needed three goals in half an hour to win the tie, had other ideas.

The comeback was started by Philippe Coutinho after a fine passing move, before Mamadou Sakho scored with 13 minutes remaining to level the tie 4-4. Dortmund were still ahead on away goals until James Milner produced a brilliant cross in the last few seconds of the game for Dejan Lovren to head home.

Anfield erupted along with Klopp as Liverpool staged one of the greatest ever comebacks in Europe. That moment is very likely to be pivotal in Klopp's reign at Liverpool as it was the first big instance of collective team spirit and never-say-die attitude coming to the fore.

Nothing excites fans more than an underdog victory and Liverpool provided their loyal fanbase with one such moment in this decade.
